With NetWare Control Center you can easily check out the health and security of your servers. It offers an advanced
logfile management (analysing, archiving) with powerful search- and filter- options.

The Realtime Event Monitor shows a status overview with the latest SYS$LOG.ERR event of all monitored servers. It
offers the ability to monitor individual NetWare Events. Using Event Filter Rules you can rate individual NetWare Events
with different realtime states: ONLINE, WARNING and FAILURE. Each Event Filter Rule assigned to a specific NetWare
Event can be associated with different alert and log options.

The NDS-/eDirectory Health Check feature will offer a simple and fast solution to check the directory services health.
It is completely based on TID10060600 and includes all 7 health check steps as recommended by Novell. Just select the
server and choose the NDS-/eDirectory Health Check menu entry to start the selected health check steps on the server.
The results of the health check will be presented in a detailed and easy to read HTML-Report.
